Calcium deposits on eggshell

[CiceroXY]

Maybe a dumb question, however

Sometimes my chickens lay eggs with slight calcium deposits on their shells and I noticed that these calcium deposits are quite always on an egg end. My doubt is if I can incubate these eggs or is it better not to do it?

You can incubate them, they are the same as any other eggs.

I do with no problem. Now do you give oyster shells as free choice or mix them in the feed or do not give them any extra?

Thank you

Yes, I give them a laying chickens feed that is a 'complete' feed cause there is already calcium in it but once a week I mix the feed with oyster shells

OK---never mix in oyster shells in the feed(pan on the side)----its force feeding and can lead to them eating to much and can lead to extra on the egg shells!!
